The figure who walked out from behind the screen was tall and thin. He was wearing a long gown that looked loose and loose. He had delicate features and a pair of fish eyes with blurred black and white. He seemed to have a deep mind. He was once a counselor by Meng Zian's side, and then for Meng Zian. Du Shuisheng, the scholar who advises Sun Hao, the admiral of the Navy, is Du Shuisheng.
And there was another person who came out from behind the screen with him. It was the ferocious-looking Taoist priest Qin Wansong who was supposed to be with Song Guiyun and the Zhang brothers in Zhaoshui City at this moment!
The scholar Du Shuisheng came out slowly and was focused on by everyone in the tent. He was not nervous at all. He generously arched his hands in the direction of Luochuan and spoke quickly and firmly, as if he was disdainful, "Report to the Grand Administrator. , Wansheng dare not deceive you, in Wansheng’s opinion, except for the golden mountain that he gave to you, which should be a genuine treasure, the rest of what he said is sheer nonsense!"
"Oh?" Luo Chuan smiled and did not ask the question Du Shuisheng wanted him to ask. Instead, he said, "General Meng Zi An Meng, is he still in Yicheng now?"
Du Shuisheng paused, and then quickly replied, "General Meng is currently imprisoned in the Yicheng Heavenly Prison by the prefect of the Meng family in Yongchang."
"Have you ever thought about how to rescue him?" Luo Chuan asked.
"I've thought about it," Du Shuisheng said without hesitation, "I just want to save people from the Yicheng Heavenly Prison. I need an opportunity, an opportunity to change the dynasty or turn the world upside down."
"These two things are not things that often happen," Luo Chuan retorted unceremoniously, "Maybe in three to five years, or in thirty to fifty years, if it hadn't been for He Yucheng, you and that person would have been like this. Wait?"
"Wait," Du Shuisheng said, "If it were any other year in the past nine hundred years, I probably wouldn't be able to convince myself to keep waiting like this. But since the world has become like this, if nothing happens to Heyu City, Xing There will definitely be trouble in the city. General Meng is young and can afford to wait. He is still young and can afford to wait."
"Just wait?" Luo Chuan asked.
Du Shuisheng shook his head, "If we just wait, then even if we wait for the opportunity, we can't do anything, so that's why Wansheng came here this time..."
Luo Chuan raised his hand and blocked Du Shuisheng's next words in his throat. He smiled slightly and asked, "How come what Zhao Nanpeng said is nonsense?"
Du Shuisheng's face did not change at all. Hearing the words, he bowed and said, "Yes, first of all, the scholar's talk is a naked deception to the prefect. If all the scholars are really loyal to the emperor, then why is Zhao Nanpeng so late at night?" You climbed over the city wall and sneaked up to the prefect, what did you say?"
Du Shuisheng chuckled and said, "Secondly, let's talk about the list of hundreds of officials. Although I have never seen it in person, I think it is densely packed and looks quite intimidating. But Lord Prefect, who is Meng Xiaotian? Who is Meng Jiaoyang? ?Even if the Meng family has declined to this point, as Zhao Nanpeng said, ignorance is still in its hands, and the Mountain Shaking Army can still be mobilized, plus Yi Bai and Baishou Mountain, if Zhao Nanpeng really has the ability to respond to every call in the court. 'Sir, how can he still stand here and brag? As for the argument that he will take over Yicheng in the short term, it is extremely ridiculous and not worth reading. I think the governor and Lieutenant Zhao have already seen through it. I'm too lazy to argue."
"Finally, what Wansheng wants to talk about is the Zhaoshui City general, Sun Miao!" Du Shuisheng snorted coldly, "Wansheng has grown up in Zhaoshui City since he was a child. He knows how complicated the situation in Zhaoshui City is. Sun Miao decades ago Guarding southern Xinjiang is based in Heyu City and has no foundation in Zhaoshui City. Moreover, with his temperament, headstrong and mean to others, he cannot live in harmony with the powerful local families in Zhaoshui City. How can he be able to do so in such a short period of time? As Zhao Nanpeng said, the military affairs inside and outside Zhaoshui City are in perfect control? Isn't this deceiving the prefect? Is this talking nonsense for one's own selfish interests? I would say that the defeat of Yongchang was attributed to Zhao Nanpeng. Responsibility may be understated!”
Luo Chuan couldn't help laughing when he heard Du Shuisheng's rhetoric.
Even Zhao Wuji, who was always serious at the side, couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Luo Chuan like this, Du Shuisheng didn't know what to do, so he had to keep silent.
Si Qi saw that Luochuan seemed to be being raped
He touched his smile point as if he was a little embarrassed. He pushed him with the back of his hand. Luo Chuan finally stopped. Then, while wiping the corners of his eyes, he stretched out his hand and tapped the scholar in front of him, "Mr. Du, don't be surprised. Luo is like this." , I really thought of Mr. Zhao’s face just now, and I couldn’t help it, please continue and talk about Zhaoshui City.”
"Yes," Du Shuisheng bowed and continued, "Zhaoshui City, because it is closer to Yicheng, is not as independent as Heyu City. Zhaoshui City's generals have always been selected from the Meng family, but And because it is indeed an important border town, it has to face Nanyi from time to time. Except for generals and captains who are often far away from the battlefield, the powerful families in Yicheng are not even interested in positions such as Zhaoshuicheng County Governor. There is a shortage of official positions, not to mention other official positions. Therefore, as time goes by, those middle and low-level officials and military officers are basically controlled by the powerful families that have emerged in the local area, and a balance and even a tacit understanding have gradually formed."
"That is, Yicheng sent General Meng and the powerful county governor to come to this border town to gild. On the surface, they have the most respected power. But in fact, if they really want to do something without the approval of the local powerful people, it is It was extremely difficult. This kind of balance and tacit understanding lasted for hundreds of years and became an almost unchanging rule. Until that year, Yicheng sent a new leader who was so young that he didn't even have a full beard. General," he looked at Luochuan and said seriously, "his name is, Meng Zian!"
Hearing this, neither Luo Chuan nor Zhao Wuji showed any trace of amusement on their faces.
Du Shuisheng said slowly, "General Meng, with one man, one gun and one horse, came to Zhaoshui City alone, quietly, just like an outsider. He wandered around Zhaoshui City for several days like a ranger, not doing any military affairs. There was nothing he could do, but he had many fights with men from powerful families. The more they fought, the more brothers and friends he gained. Gradually, it seemed that he was the powerful son born and raised in Zhaoshui City. One day, the eunuch sent an envoy, When his identity was revealed to the world, everyone knew that this distant branch of the Meng family was actually the new general of Zhaoshui City!"
As Du Shuisheng spoke, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "The powerful families were naturally dissatisfied and made trouble for a long time. Then, Nanyi came." The smile disappeared from his face, "Meng The general did not hide in the city like any previous Meng generals, but led his troops out of the city and took the lead. In that battle, he commanded decisively and won several battles in a row. However, because a few young people from powerful families secretly Disobeying orders led to a defeat. In this defeat, General Meng was seriously injured and almost died. This defeat also allowed him to truly win the respect of Zhaoshui City..."
